  • Rail Construction Commences
    Kowloon City Section Newsletter June 2012 Rail construction commences The Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project was first gazetted under the "Railways Ordinance" on 26 November 2010, followed with the first and second amendment schemes gazetted on 15 July and 11 November 2011 respectively. The Legislative Council’s Finance Committee approved funding for the SCL project in May 2012. Following the funding approval, the construction of the project commences. The Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section is expected to be completed in 2018 followed by the Hung Hom to Admiralty Section in 2020. Benefits Upon its completion, the SCL will provide a fast, reliable and convenient rail service to Kai Tak, To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Wai and Ho Man Tin areas, which are not yet served by the network. Passengers from the Kowloon City district will be able to travel directly to destinations in New Territories East and West through the "East West Corridor" formed by the Ma On Shan Line, the Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section and the West Rail Line; while the Hung Hom to Admiralty Section will further link up the existing railway network. The Tai Wai new service will give passengers more options to Che Kung Temple reach their destinations and with more convenient interchanges, making it easier to travel around Hong Hin Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

  • For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs
    CB(1) 516/05-06(01) For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs Legislative Council Panel on Planning, Lands and Works Information Note on Overall Sewage Infrastructure in Hong Kong Purpose This note informs members on the policy behind and progress of sewage infrastructure planning and implementation in Hong Kong. Policy Goals for the Provision of Sewage Infrastructure 2. The policy goals for the provision of sewage infrastructure are the protection of public health and the attainment of the declared Water Quality Objectives for the receiving water environment. The latter are set so as to ensure our waters are of a sufficient quality to sustain certain uses which are valued by the community. These include, variously, abstraction for potable supply, swimming, secondary contact recreation such as yachting, and the ability to sustain healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems. The Sewerage Planning Process 3. The sewerage planning process entails the systematic review of the sewerage needs in each sewerage catchment with the aim of drawing up a series of Sewerage Master Plans (SMPs) devised so as to ensure the above policy goals will be met. A total of 16 SMPs covering the whole of Hong Kong were completed between 1989 and 1996 (Annex 1). The SMPs started with those covering areas where waters were close to or exceeded their assimilative limits, were highly valued, or where excessive pollution had resulted in environmental black spots. For example, Hong Kong Island South SMP covering sensitive beach areas and Tolo Harbour SMP covering nutrient loaded Tolo Harbour were among the earliest conducted SMPs. Each study made recommendations for the appropriate network of sewers, pumping stations and treatment facilities for the proper collection, treatment and disposal of sewage generated in the catchment, with the aim of catering for the present and future development needs.

  • Executive Summary of Technical Report on Traffic and Transport
    Civil Engineering and Development Department Agreement No. CE61/2007(CE) and Planning Department North East New Territories New Development Areas Planning and Engineering Study – Investigation Traffic and Transport Assessment Executive Summary INTRODUCTION This report provides a baseline review and a traffic and transport impact assessment of the proposed North East New Territories (NENT) New Development Areas (NDAs) Development under the Recommended Outline Development Plans (RODPs), for the existing and planned transport system. A 2-tier transport modelling approach is adopted. Strategic transport model is developed to provide quantitative input for highway capacity analysis of the major highway corridors, whereas local transport models are developed to support the local network and junction design. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT ASSESSMENT ON THE RODPs The model runs have identified the potential overloading of the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section, the Po Shek Wu Interchange and the So Kwun Po Interchange due to the proposed NDAs Development. Various highway network improvement options to resolve the problem and minimise noise and air pollution are explored and outlined below. HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURES Widening of Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section It is recommended to widen the existing Fanling Highway Kwu Tung Section between the San Tin Interchange and Po Shek Wu Interchange from the existing dual 3-lane without hard shoulder to dual 4-lane with hard shoulder, and to divert the adjacent Castle Peak Road with the associated utilities. Various widening scheme options have been reviewed and it is recommended to widen the expressway towards the northern side so that the impacts to the existing nearby historical buildings and Old and Valuable Trees (OVTs) could be minimised.

Drawing on five months of archival research at the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Public Records Office (PRO) in 2016 as well as 17 months of fieldwork conducted between 2012, 2013 and 2016, this article provides a much- needed overview of why sustainable waste management has always been such a challenge for Hong Kong.

The map illustrates the boundaries set up by the Territorial Convention of 1860 and the New Convention of 1898. The map was issued shortly after the signing of the New Convention on June 9, 1898. Under the convention the territories north of what is now Boundary Street and south of the Sham Chun River, and the surrounding islands, later known as the "New Territories" were leased to the United Kingdom for 99 years rent-free, expiring on 30 June 1997, and became part of the crown colony of Hong Kong. The Kowloon Walled City was excepted and remained under the control of Qing China. The territories which were leased to the United Kingdom were originally governed by Xin'an County, Guangdong province. Claude MacDonald, the British representative during the convention, picked a 99- year lease because he thought it was "as good as forever".
